Update:
Elliot Padilla sent us an email to say that Ballard local, Billy, found the moped wrapped in a tarp and locked to a tree on April 3. Billy had seen an Instagram post and contacted Padilla at work to reunite the moped with its owner. Thank you to everyone who helped in the search!
Original Post:
Local resident Elliot Padilla had his moped stolen from his building on 26th St NW and NW 56th St. The moped was locked up behind his home when it was taken on March 15th.
Padilla notified SPD and is yet to find any leads on the culprit or the location of his moped. “Someone stole my pride and joy that I’ve been working on for the last three years,” said Padilla.
If you have any information or know the location of the moped contact Padilla at (805) 431 – 5845 or contact the SPD North Precinct Burglary/Theft department at (206) 684-573.
Alternatively, you can email us at tips@myballard.com and we will pass on the information.
